Custom Banner

Last night I was able to create and upload my first custom banner.

I really had no intention of making the banner fancy or having it be my final banner. All I really wanted was to get rid of the ugly default blogger banner. I hate that thing. I've wanted to change the banner on this site and my other blog (which I don't list here; its anonymously written) since the beginning but I didn't have clue where to get started.

I totally have to thank Ree from thepioneerwoman.com. If you're looking for some great photoshop tutorials and tricks I suggest looking there till I can get some up. I used Ree's banner tutorial to get me started on making the first banner. I'm waiting for the second part to make a better banner. I know you're busy Ree...but hurry up!

Liberty Montage

This picture I decided to play around with just for fun. I was having a heck of a time toning down the blues but in the end I was pleasantly surprised. The blue ends up bringing out a lot of the character. I never liked the seaweed green anyway.

I'm happy with the way I was able to bring out the fine detail within the inside of the tower. Even the weather staining brings out the old charm.

What started out as, a for fun photo, it turned out to be one I'm really happy with.

Cutie

I know it's been awhile. But with the birth of my daughter my life's been a bit hectic. Sooner or later this site is gonna have some baby pics up since its something that I'd love to specialize in.

Here is a portrait I did of Wendy's (a neighbour) dog, Cutie.

I think this dog has the most gorgeous eyes so I tried to get them to stand out as much as possible.
